While he was doing the voice-over gig, people encouraged him to try out TV. That is when he joined the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) in 2010 as a continuity presenter, mainly doing the programme line-up. He decided to try out Star FM auditions after encouragement from his mom and most of his friends. DJ Mox started presenting the Midnight Lockdown, a slot he was in charge of from 2012 to 2014.
